Why I Want To Be The District 1 Commissioner:
He wants to improve road conditions without raising taxes, work within a balanced budget and stop wasteful spending if elected to the District 1 seat on the Limestone County

“If elected, I will work hard for the taxpayers of Limestone County in an effort to provide the best possible service to citizens,” he said. “I will be the best steward of taxpayer funds and reduce any unnecessary spending.”

He has five objectives:

• Improve road conditions without raising taxes, with balanced budgets and no wasteful spending;

• Work with organizations in the community, such as schools, fire departments, senior groups and law enforcement, to improve the quality of life;

• Obtain funds from state and federal programs that can benefit county residents;

• Improve cooperation within the county and local government offices;

• Attract new businesses and industries.

Cooperation and unity

Hill said he brings to the table more than 20 years of experience as a manager, including supervising more than 65 employees at Eaton Corp. He operated Stanley Hill Excavating business for five years. For the past 13 years, he has been a County Commission employee, serving as District 1 foreman for the last seven.

He said he wouldn’t be a mud-slinging campaigner; he believes he is applying for a job and is asking voters to consider hiring him.If elected, Hill said he would foster cooperation and unity among commissioners.  “I would do this through more communication and by leaving the politics out of it,” he said. “A commissioner should do what is right, not what might help him politically. It is a commissioner’s job to do what is in the best interests of the taxpayers. We have to work together and make it happen.”
